It didn’t take long at all for videos to emerge from the scene of the fatal shooting by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer during a raid in Minneapolis on Wednesday. And, just as quickly, the videos became a kind of Zapruder film, weaponized by people desperate to misinterpret events everyone can see with their own eyes to justify an innocent woman’s death.
It’s more critical than ever to trust what you’re seeing with your own eyes. The Trump administration’s spin of these events — of a brutal terrorist attack by a 37-year-old mom against a federal agent just out there doing his job to make us safer — is quite plainly not backed up by these videos. Who are you going to believe, they seem to be asking us: Our official version, or your own lying eyes?
Here’s what the videos show to anyone able to think critically and with a conscience: Renee Nicole Good, a mother of three, was in the driver’s seat of a red car. Good appears to be waving vehicles to pass her, as if she’s directing traffic to proceed past her in an orderly way.
The preferred video “angle” for conservatives, however, was published by local news station ABC 5. On Truth Social, President Donald Trump pointed to “the attached clip” as evidence that “the woman screaming” — Good’s apparent wife — was a “professional agitator.”



It’s gonna get really hard to trust your eyes though. We are gonna be increasingly judgmental for any video that only has one angle. AI for a long time will be unable to make two different videos or angles match. So the fact there are at least 3 videos of the shooting gives it credibility.
at this point the sure bet is to disbelieve any trump administration statement (regardless of presented “evidence”) as an outright lie unless proven otherwise by multiple independent sources.
this both simplifies your life and points you in the general direction of truth.
